Why is my imperial so small?

Maxed out the height on my male imperial but he still seems really tiny compared to other races (except maybe bosmer)...are imperials considered to be so small?
And what the hell about Chevalier Renald who is supposed to be an imperial and is easily more than 1 head taller than my max height imperial???
This is really impacting my imperial tanks self esteam...

    Imperials are the same height as Bretons IIRC... the shortest of the human (and half-elven, so to say) race in ESO.

    Was his grandmother Bosmer perhaps?

    Has he shown any recent cravings for ... unusual ... meats?

    Have you tried rubbing him against a khajiit lately? Or another imperial, if that's how you roll. I don't judge.

    Sometimes its not just about the size but also how you use it. Magica or stamina?

    It's the Nords, Orcs, and High Elves who are freakishly tall ;)

    It’s not the size of the Imperial that counts; it’s how close you adhere to the meta.

    You could always make up for his lack in size with a big, shiny helmet.

    There are 4 Human races in game. Breton, Imperial, Redguard and Nords. Only Nords are taller than the other 3.
    I do not see where the issue is as humans go.

    Which means Chevalier Renald probably had some Nord ancestor :D

    Npcs have sliders not accessible to the player. It’s why everyone looks like a child next to Lyris Titanborn. No Nord player character can match her height.
    Also yes Imperials are not known for being any taller than Bretons and Redguards.

    In this game, All humans are same.

    I heard magicka is only for those who don't have the stamina to sustain their Imperial for long. :grin:

    The blue colour kind of gives it away.[/quote]

    Yeah but that blue in the face look should get extra credit for effort surely?

    True. I thought my imperial is high, but then I saw a real big nord near me and I looked like a bosmer in comparison ><

    Buy a name change token and call him Maximus. Hopefully, it will give him a semblance of length girth stature and lessen his insecurity.

    That's because Lyris isn't just Nord. Lyris is half Nord and half giant. Have you done the main quest yet? :P

    Breton. dunmer and Imperials have the same height, which puts them above a couple of races and only nords, high elves and orcs can be taller than them. That's not really short. Nords, altmer and orcs are known for being all tall and imposing compared the other races.

    To be honest, most of the races are around the same height in game. Bretons, imperials, redguards, dunmer, khajiit and argonians are very close to eachother. So if you truly want to see short, make a bosmer. Who are alone at being the shortest race.

    Someone made this chart as a comparison:
